Seven Greed Meditation Method (Please Read On)

Chen Wei sat on a stone stool in the courtyard, spread a sheet of snowy-white paper flat across the marble table, then signaled that Color Spirit could begin transcribing the meditation method.

Under the control of Color Spirit's telekinesis, the pencil moved tirelessly across the page, and one dazzling rune after another gradually appeared on the white paper.

"Yah!" (There's more!)

A few minutes later, Color Spirit, having filled the page, lifted her head and let out a crisp cry.

Hearing this, Chen Wei turned to the cool yet gentle dojo master beside him and asked politely, "Excuse me, do you have any more blank paper? One sheet doesn't seem to be enough."

"It's fine. I have plenty more."

Gu Yuwei's brows furrowed slightly, surprise stirring in her heart. Without giving it away, she took a stack of blank paper from her Star Ring and placed it on the marble table.

This Cold Jade Snake seemed quite gifted. She had thought it would only grasp a tiny fragment of a low-grade meditation method. It seemed the Beast Master Little Yi had recommended possessed some ability after all.

Seeing the extra stack of paper on the table, Color Spirit's eyes lit up. She truly enjoyed the fun of putting pencil to paper.

Chen Wei silently nodded as well. It seemed the Color Spirit before him had the potential to become an intellectual—she loved writing this much.

Half an hour passed.

"Color Spirit has finished transcribing the meditation method. Do you need to check it?"

After arranging the pages Color Spirit had scribbled on in order, Chen Wei handed them to the somewhat absent-minded Gu Yuwei beside him.

"Ah... yes. As long as a psychic-type pet can cultivate it, that means there's no problem with the meditation method."

Gu Yuwei immediately came back to herself and accepted the stack of manuals. A faint trace of envy seemed to surface on her cool face.

Even her own psychic-type pet could only comprehend the barest superficiality of a meditation method, yet this unusually shaped Cold Jade Snake before her had managed to perceive so much.

Though grasping more content did not mean the meditation method comprehended was of higher quality, it was still an unexpected delight for her.

"That's enough. After cultivating the meditation method for a few days, you'll be able to tell its quality from how efficiently it improves your pet's mental power," Gu Yuwei said calmly.

As she spoke, her gaze never left the manual Color Spirit had just transcribed in her hands.

"Thank you for your help. If there's nothing else, you may leave now," Gu Yuwei said softly.

Perhaps noticing the delight on Chen Wei's face from the corner of her eye, the inarticulate woman chose to see him off.

"No, thank you very much for giving me this opportunity," Chen Wei quickly said in gratitude.

Watching Chen Wei's figure disappear, Gu Yuwei stood silently where she was for a moment before murmuring in confusion, "Uncle Li, what do you think of Chen Wei's aptitude as a Beast Master?"

After a while.

An aged voice drifted over on the breeze.

"Perhaps he is a true genius in Water Mountain City, but compared with you, Yuwei, he still falls far short."

"Is that so? Perhaps."

A cool, gentle voice echoed through the empty courtyard.

By the time Chen Wei returned to his apartment, it was already evening.

"You can try out the meditation method you comprehended this afternoon tonight and see how effective it is."

Chen Wei, busy in the kitchen, sent the thought to her.

"Yiya." (Try it now.)

The moment she decided, she acted. As though she had received a brand-new toy, Color Spirit eagerly began her meditation practice for the day.

She gently closed her eyes and relaxed her body and mind. As she sensed the runes constantly churning and leaping in her mind, her consciousness drifted along with them.

After a while, her awareness gradually settled, seemingly surrounded without end by a strange current of warmth.

As her soul drew in that surging warm current bit by bit, a faint sensation of warmth and comfort spread through it. Her mental power also seemed to be slowly increasing.

During the meditation, Color Spirit felt her thoughts become clearer, while even the strength of her telekinesis rose considerably.

When the meditation ended and she opened her eyes, the first thing Color Spirit saw was her good-for-nothing Beast Master.

"How was it? How effective is this meditation method?" Chen Wei asked cheerfully.

"Yiya!" (▽｀) (It's great!)

Chen Wei watched as Color Spirit excitedly darted onto him, happily rubbing her little head against his cheek.

"As long as you think it's good. Remember to cultivate a little longer every night from now on."

Chen Wei smugly patted Color Spirit on the head and said with a smile.

"By the way, what is this meditation method called?" Once his excitement subsided, Chen Wei asked curiously.

"Yiya." (Don't know.)

Color Spirit tilted her head in confusion, clearly not knowing how to explain it either.

Chen Wei simply pulled out his phone and continued asking, "Didn't you learn Eastern Hua script today? Can you translate it?"

"Yiyi? Yiyi?" (Qi Tan? Seven Greed?)

Color Spirit called out uncertainly.

Clearly, translating the name of the meditation technique was far too difficult for a little snake who had only just learned to read.

"Seven Greeds?" Chen Wei murmured with a frown.

He simply could not understand how a meditation technique meant for pet beasts could have such a name. It seemed completely unrelated!

Shaking his head, Chen Wei did not dwell on it. Seven Greeds it was. In any case, it was a meditation technique he had gotten for free. As long as he paid a little attention to whether the technique had any other hidden dangers when Color Spirit cultivated it, that would be enough.

"Color Spirit, you performed very well today. I'll give you a proper enhancement later. Keep up the good work from now on!"

At the word "enhancement," Color Spirit immediately rose upright in excitement.

To her, even the pleasure brought by cultivating a meditation technique could not compare to Chen Wei's enhancement.

Out of habit, Chen Wei held the adorable Color Spirit in his arms and began his nightly enhancement routine.

If I don't hold Color Spirit a little more while I still can, I might not get the chance later.

Watching Color Spirit's steadily growing body, Chen Wei mused to himself.

After all, ordinary Cold Jade Snakes did not grow nearly as quickly as the Color Spirit before him!

As far as Chen Wei knew, Cold Jade Snakes in their juvenile stage were generally less than a meter long. Most Cold Jade Snakes that broke through the one-meter limit had already advanced to the first rank in strength.

Once fully grown and promoted to the third rank, a Cold Jade Snake's body would surge to around ten meters in length.

Judging by Color Spirit's current growth trend, her body would only become even more enormous in the future. It might even reach several dozen meters in length.

At that thought, Chen Wei's vision went black, and he sharply sucked in a breath.

The larger a contracted pet beast was, the greater the consumption for both the pet beast and its Beast Master. The resources the pet beast needed to eat on a daily basis would also increase dramatically.

Chen Wei even suspected that, at his current rate of earning money, he might not be able to keep up with the resources Color Spirit would consume in the future.

Money, money, money! What's stopping me from becoming stronger isn't talent, but those vulgar Star Coins! Chen Wei sighed inwardly.

"When the cart reaches the mountain, there'll be a road through it. I'll worry about the future when it comes."

After letting his imagination run wild, Chen Wei could only shake his head helplessly, a wry smile appearing on his lips.
